Search text generate is not correct

[Kapeli]

What are you trying to search for? Can you give a specific example? What are you doing exactly (step by step)?

[rcabamo]

I select timeZoneWithAbbreviation

and Dash windows with the text...

[Kapeli]

How do you trigger Dash? What key do you press?

[rcabamo]

Option+Click or three finger in the method name

[Kapeli]

I tried it and it works for me, so no idea what might go wrong on your end... Can you record a video of it happening? Also, did you try other methods and the same thing happened? Does Xcode highlight (underline) the method before you click it?

It seems like it's working on the second file you test it in, so something might be confusing Xcode in the first file. Can you think of anything that might be different (e.g. compiler errors or warnings)?

[rcabamo]

Yes, the first file have some warnings but never had failed me before.

Thanks :)

Great. Please close the issue if it's all working now.

OK I think a find a way to reproduce that:

1. fold all your code (menu: Editor -> Code Folding -> Fold Methods & Functions, or key: option-shift-command-)

2. next open one of your methods, at the beginning (but not the first fold, let's say the 3rd)

3. select an Apple method you want Dash to give you documentation and alt-click the normal way.

4. boum! "random" text in Dash.

5. if you select too far down the source, it just don't work.

Actually if you calculate the number of line the folding have "saved" you in the vertical scroll, you get where it is getting the search string. Somewhere down below in your source, by "that much" line.

Example: If you select a keyword on line 46, but some methods are folded before this line. This line 46 line up to line, let's say, 90. When you look at line 90, at the same x coord on the line, you find your "random" text. :)

If no methods are folded before your keyword, it works. And if you are so down the source that the keyword is on a line that will be "outside the source" you get my case 5), not working.

Is that helping ?
(You can always search the text Dash receive in your source and find it below the searched word)

Note: I've looked in the code, but this:

NSString *symbolString = [self valueForKeyPath:@"selectedExpression.symbolString"];

seems to be OK. Is it a Xcode bug ? I'm probably too newbie to judge...
